I am not a drummer. But! The number 1 and 2 drummer issues that I have had to deal with time and time again after playing for many years is.... VOLUME and S P A C E Please tell everyone you know to tone down the volume and leave plenty of space. Jazz is a conversation. I bet these two issues have gotten more drummers out of a jazz band than anything else.

Lack of dexterity and "over-playing". It might be obvious to Jazz audiences, but in other styles... People are fooled into thinking a bunch of loud fills make a good drummer.

[@thebetterdrummer]

Its all contextual! Sometimes, you're 100% right, we have to play quieter and leave space... other times the conversation involves us being loud and busy!
